    Kids rifle manifesto

    Gotcha. Despite my jabs at the asthetics of the Rokstock, I’m just the sort of guy to make it worse! Very much looking forward to shooting the thing, thanks for your efforts. I’m learning a lot here and on the podcast.

    Kids rifle manifesto

    Is a short LOP Rokstock an option now? I ordered a standard 13.5” LOP in March, didn’t see shorter as an option. Being short, with short kids, 12.5 or 13 would be ideal.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    With what’s becoming known about the performance of match bullets like ELDMs and TMK, I don’t see much reason to carry 308, 30-06, 300 Win, etc. Why deal with all that recoil? Read the .223 thread. For people that want to shoot longer range, those cartridges make less sense now. Lower...

    Diligent defense enticer S Ti ?

    Pretty happy with the S-TI. Significantly lighter and quieter than my Q Trash Panda on my 20" 260 Rem. Being 5 oz ish lighter makes a big difference at the end of a muzzle.

    6.5 WSM Load for Youth

    Not sure where you plan on hunting and state laws, but if .223 with 77 gr TMK isn't an option then I'd look real hard at a 6 ARC, .243, 6 creedmore, etc. And .223 to practice with.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Correct. It’s a VERY tight fit with MDT polymer, but it does work. I read about it first on here. I think the magazine could be modified, or the CTR bottom metal modified to more easily accept both AICS and CTR mags. Right now it works with both (unmodified) but probably couldn’t get the MDT...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    I’ve had my Tikka CTR mag dislodge a few times in heavy brush. Finally lost one. Pretty frustrating. It’s a fairly low profile release latch, but in that thick of brush, strapped to my gun beater it happens. Since then I bought an MDT AICS pattern polymer mag for hunting. It’s way more secure.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    The old time sailors didn’t have fresh meat, and were typically still dependent on carbohydrates. It appears that in the absence of carbs, and with fresh meat, there’s much less need for Vitamin C. 3.5+ years of 98-100% carnivore here without supplements, starting in 2018. Not only did I not...

    RokStok

    I’m with you on that. I’d like to have pic on there only to dabble with PRS comps. Any reason why the pic/Arca couldn’t be swapped later for Arca/spartan?

    Can you gain muscle in a calorie deficit?

    I did. Went from about 170 to low 150s at 5’5”, relatively novice lifter and age 38. I did the starting strength lifting program, some time restricted eating(skipping breakfast), and put protein first until I was full, cut way back on bread and starches. I cut way back on cardio, and really...

    That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever lusted after….

    I’m confused….isn’t Length of Pull measured to the trigger?

    Sorry if I missed, but any rough estimate on when these might be available in a shorter LOP? Like Tikka 13.0” Thanks
